Many people don't want to spend loads of money on a complete makeup set or simply want to store it all away, nice and tidy! Here's how to make your own makeup kit, using a simple container lined with foam.

Steps

1

Buy a small case, tin or box. Look for something suitable in department stores, pharmacies or even check out more unique items in a charity shop, thrift store or garage sale. If you buy a used container, make sure to clean it well before use.

2

Cut out a small bit of foam the size of the case's bottom. Line the case with this foam. This will protect the makeup being kept inside.

3

Add the makeup. If you have enough space, it is ideal to put everything into sections, for example, nail polishes, eyeshadows, lipsticks, etc. in separate areas. Suggested contents are listed under "Tips" below.

4

Start cutting out the shapes in the foam for your makeup items. This will ensure that they are properly protected. Measure the shapes with tape or draw exact outlines onto the foam and use a craft knife to cut the exact dimensions. Sometimes all you will need to do is make a slit to slip in flat items such as eyeshadow boxes.

5

Make sure you keep the case somewhere safe. If it falls, the makeup might break and leak, so be careful where you leave it. Try not to tip it sideways either unless you have an excellent catch on the kit.
